 * Hello,
 * I want to use some jquery plugins in wordpress. So i searched a bit and found
   how to add script to wordpress header.
 * On wp-includes/ theres a file called script-loader.php
    I added $scripts->add(‘
   jquery-watermarkinput’, ‘/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.watermarkinput.js’, array(‘
   jquery’), ‘0.1’ ); To call this js under jquery’s js.
 * Now i have to add a script on my body to use this plugin, which will be like;
 * <script type=”text/javascript”>
    $(document).ready(function(){ $(“#s”).Watermark(“
   search..”); )}; </script>
 * I added it to my header.php after </head> element but after i run my page i saw
   an syntax error in file called tw-sack.js which is a wordpress file.
    I need 
   your help to achieve this problem. I look around codex but i didint find anything.
   Thanks
